Presentation Summary:
Insect declines have been well-documented globally and conservation actions are being taken to mitigate and reverse those declines. Pennsylvania’s vast forests provide a refuge for countless insects, which have been relatively undocumented until recent years. In this webinar, you will learn about the insects of Pennsylvania’s forests and what can be done to better understand and conserve them. Discover the reasoning for a decline of pollinating insects in Pennsylvania and learn how you can contribute to their conservation efforts.

What will participants learn:

• The importance of pollinators in Pennsylvania forests
• Which insects act as pollinators across Pennsylvania, including bees, flies, and wasps
• How forests and forest-adjacent openings can be managed to improve insect communities
